Yes a fantastic cause, such an important cause. I personally know as have cared for two very dear people close to me who suffered with Alzheimer's - can be such a cruel disease and extremely hard for those who are their carers! I gave up a 19 year career through choice and now work in a fantastic day centre in Swaffham, Norfolk (Merle Boddy) where we look after those that suffer with mental health problems and other disabilities. Although 90% of our clients suffer with dementia and most of us will have a loved one or know someone who will have this disease at some stage in their lives. Dementia Friends raises awareness and a fantastic help for those that need it. Well done for posting it on here!!!!!!

My mum died from dementia age 59, a lot of people lack awareness about it. Some people she knew had never heard of dementia being a killer, when it is in fact, the second or third biggest killer of women.

This initiative was originally set up by Department of Health for England and the Alzheimer's Society so it has started here and has recently commenced in Wales too. (Trivia - this is actually a Japanese initiative originally).

What about Scotland????

I just emailed them through their feedback form to ask that. I'm a support worker in Edinburgh with clients with Dementia so thought this would be ideal for my office.
